Mmenimkeakpaniko Ekerette, the elder brother to Ekemini Ekerette (Kemen), who was disqualified from the Big Brother Naija house on Sunday night has debunked media reports that the family had threatened to sue the organizers of the reality tv show over Kemen's unceremonious exit from the house.

Recall that several media platforms including IBOM REPORTERS had reported yesterday that the family had threatened to sue Payporte, the official organizers of the show as soon as their son was back to base.

Mmenimkeakpaniko averred, "Dear Nigerians, My Name is Mmenimkeakpaniko Ekerette, Eldest brother to Ekemini Ekerette AKA KEMEN of the Big Brother Naija (#BBNaija).

"Our attention have been drawn to various publication and news items circulating in the media, that we the family of Kemen intend to take legal action against the organizers of Big Brother Naija 2017 about the way and manner that our son Kemen was disqualified from the reality TV show.

"We want to state it clearly that the family of Kemen have not met with, or spoken to anyone regarding this issue. While we are yet to hear Kemen's side of the of story, we urge everyone to please disregard this false rumour that is becoming a campaign of calumny to continue to cast Kemen as savage in the eye of the public.

"While we regret his unceremonious exit from the Big Brother House, we would like members of the press, bloggers and indeed the public to give Kemen and his family the privacy we deserve at this trying moment.

"Thank you for your love and support."
